成人本色

The ultimate barrier prevented the clash of a huge wave of power by a narrow margin.

The roar continued unabated. There was a riot outside the barrier where an onslaught, of an aura at the same class as my divinity, was pouring in.

As the two powers of 8th rank collided, the field of vision flickered loudly.

Thesilid said in a voice of disbelief.

“Level 8 aura……don’t tell me…”

Light that seemed to burn the retina and noise that seemed to tear the ears subsided. I withdrew my barrier. The surroundings revealed after the dust cloud lifted were horrendous.

The hills of the meadow turned into a wasteland. All living things except me and Thesilid seemed to have been annihilated.

No, there was one more being that breathed. The person responsible for the attack.

A foreign voice rang out from a distance of ten or so steps.

<I can’t believe you stopped this.>

The host of the demon sword had changed as if it had gotten stronger.

Black hair curled like seaweed stems soared into the air and muscles and tendons wriggled on the naked upper body. The inherent power seemed to want to run out of his body. However, there was something else that caught the eye more than the transformation of his body.

There were five swords behind the host. The presence of floating aura blades spread out like a fan surprised me.

“Wow…he became a Master?”

Until a while ago, he was barely floating above the line of the upper level of an Aura Expert. But, by leaping beyond the wall at once, he was using the Thousand Swords I dreamed of learning.

“It’s worth a contract with the Demon King.”

<Cadet Ellet.>

“Ellet.”

I was half joking, but severe scolding returned from both sides.

It wasn’t just the two of them.

[‘The World-building God’ senses the signs of your corruption and runs to you.]

[‘The World-building God’ shouts that you must never go down the path of such a delinquent believer!]

‘Yep. sorry. I lied. For me, World God it’s the only one. Amen.’

[‘The World-building God’ happily smiled.]

[‘The Scales that Judges the Soul’ advises you to consider a horizontal shift to the Libra sect.]

[‘The Creative Business Manager’ asks if he can run for office as well.]

[‘The World-building God’ criticizes the lack of morality to steal believers.]

There was no tension at all among the three head-chief level gods, but the situation was, in fact, in a state of imminent action.

I looked ahead with vigilant eyes. The host of the demon sword was troubled with an uncomfortable face.

<What’s going on? It’s normal for people to fall like dust at the face of my aura.>

There is a stark gap between Aura Expert and Aura Master. From his point of view, it wouldn’t make sense that I and Thesilid were still alive.

‘If it wasn’t for the ultimate barrier, we would have died.’

However, with a brain entrusted to the demon sword, it seems complicated to come up with an answer.

<Not aura, it seems like it was blocked by Divine power. If that’s the case…>

“……”

<I think the green-eyed brat blocked it. Stigmata, you seem to have awakened divine powers by a ploy and can now use special skills.>

(Note: for those who don’t remember, Terry can’t use most holy skills. But this guy is so dumbed down, he thinks it was Terry who cast the barrier. And Eleon likes to call Terry, Green-Eyed Kid even tho his eyes are a blue, because green can also mean, imperfect or half-baked.)

Thesilid’s trembling gaze reached me.

“There is a serious misunderstanding.” (Terry)

“Let’s leave it to another time.”(Ellet)

Surreung.

I pulled out my whip sword, Serpens.

“Terry, step back.”

“I’m more advanced than you. Will you be all right?”

“I’ll try it once.”

I stepped forward buffing myself with ‘Holy Hymn’, but the host tried to provoke Thesilid, not me.

<Are you cowardly still hiding behind a woman?>

“Hiding behind a strong person is not cowardly. Don’t waste my time barking. Just come at me so I can blow your left arm already.”

The host’s face contorted. As if recalling the pain of having his right arm cut off. Unfortunately, my baseline suppression did not last long.

<Strong? Can you still argue about strength in front of me?>

“……”

<This body has now reached the limit of human beings, the ultimate state.>

Five aura blades soared high into the sky as if to show off.

<Look, this is……>

High in the sky, their sharp blades were pointed at me.

<The power of Lord Eleon O’drek who was reborn as an Aura Master!>

Shhhh!

Aura blades came rushing in a spiral. I immediately kicked the ground and ran.

Whooss! Thump! Phow!

Explosive sounds came about with a beat of time of delay while huge craters formed wherever the swords missed the target.

<You wriggle your way out very well.>

The Aura Blades that were chasing split up. Thinly, but countless small blades formed. The next moment, a merciless rain of aura poured down.

Shhh!

“……!”

I lowered my posture and picked up the Serpens in reverse. The aura of the sword wrapped around my head like a shield.

Kwagwagwagwang!

It was a small area, but it was possible to cover my body. Thanks to this, I could block the attack from the front.

“Ugh.”

Instead, gravel and dirt bounced off the bombed ground on my surroundings and scraped across my body. It was an instant before my whole body ached.

<Become a beehive>

The rain from the aura grew even stronger. Pebbles and soil that bounced off came to cover the surrounding area like a mist.

‘Now!’

I ran with all my might while my vision was disturbed. Breaking through the rain of aura and fog, I leaped towards the host.

As soon as I jumped out of the muddy mist, I swung Serpens towards the silhouette with all my might.

Wheeeew!

However.

<How dare you try to make small tricks with the sword while being a lowly Expert?>

“Huk!”

Whoohss!

The host repelled my attack with the demon sword. Blown away by the tremendous force I flew backward.

“Serpens!”

Tcharararara!

The whip sword stretched like a whip. While flying backward, I fired a combo attack on the host. However, the already recovered five aura blades blocked all trajectories of my whip sword.

Because of the protection of the aura blade, the attack does not reach. It feels like a 6-to-1 fight.

‘This is the Aura Master….’

Agnes, who couldn’t stand it, also said.

<I’m afraid the odds are slim at this rate, Ellet.>

I clenched my teeth and managed to land with a fall method.

A creepy voice pierced my ears.

<I’ll finish you now.>

“……!”

There was no time to correct my posture. Aura blades crossed the air and surrounded me faster than raptors.

Harpoons were shot at me from five directions. Time was running out to chant holy spells. This could not be completely prevented or avoided.

“Ellet!”

Kwannng!

A roar covered Thesilid’s cry and shook the air.

“Ugh…!”

Instantly raising my aura, I surrounded myself. The aura, which I had raised to the limit, and the host’s aura blade collided.

The result was……

Throbbing pain, burning across my body.

“Kuk…! Cough…!”

Blood gushed out of the mouth as a result of internal injuries. But it wasn’t my blood.

“Are you…okay?”

“……”

Thesilid, who used ‘Guardian of the Beloved’, took my wounds again. Seeing him smiling foolishly with blood-stained lips made something in me move.

Even if Thesilid could handle all the injuries, the pain was halved. Enduring the pain and drenched in a cold sweat, I stared straight ahead.

Agnes sternly said.

<Match your opponent, Ellet.>

“…Yes.”

It’s disappointing, but my aura falls short. Then, there is only one way.

At that time, the host’s eyes, which even the whites of his eyes turned red, flashed bizarrely.

<That’s strange. I attacked a woman, but it was the green-eyed brat who vomited blood.>

His thinking was simple and childish.

<Ohhh, look at this. You guys are not in a normal relationship.>

“……”

<Good. I will tear this woman to shreds in front of you, brat!>

The red eyes glowed with mad excitement, and at the same time, the five aura blades flashed intensely. It looked like he was about to launch a blow with all his might.

The blades swirled in a spiral and rushed towards me.

It was a critical situation, but I thought of a way to reverse it.

There was only one answer.

“Thesilid!”

The moment I shouted loud enough for my throat to burst, a solid back cut into my vision.

Kagagaga!

Thesilid, who slashed the aura Blade in an instant, dug into the host.

Chae-Ae-Aeng!

His sword aura, which confronted the demon sword, was the whitest and purest white light in the world. It was a special aura unique to the main character combined with divine power.

<You……!>

Despite his terrible internal injuries, he firmly faced the host with his sword.

“Sir Eleon, I will deal with you again from now on.”

<You are the weakest, who do you think you are to interrupt?>

“It’s a strategic intervention. I’m afraid that our strategy has changed.”

<That’s funny! What a brat like you can do? With such a tattered body… not?!>

At that moment, a divine white light appeared all over Thesilid’s body. It was a level 67 healing light amplified five times.

“It’s a healthy body.”

<How……>

At that moment, the host opened his eyes to me, who was behind Thesilid.

<You were a healer?!>

“Not just a simple healer.”

I immediately cast an ultimate divine power skill.

“Divine Punishment!”

Thunderbolts struck down from the dry sky. The thunderstorms did not stop in one place but moved above ground.

Of course, the host was not hit, I didn’t even expect him to be hit.

What I wanted was..

<Damn it. My swords…!>

It was only intended to cover Thesilid from the annoying aura Blade.

There was a separate skill for the main dish. My fingertips pointed to the host.

“Vanquish of Evil.”

Distance and obstacles are ignored because this skill sticks to the existence itself.

<Kuh!>

He was in the realm of a master, so the resistance was strong. But for now, this was the most effective skill. This is especially true if the tank is engaged in a close-range battle.

I continued to cut through the air with my finger, slashing Eleon O’Drek’s existence.

Thesilid was holding out in front of me, so I had enough time to use my divine skills. It was simply an all-you-can-deal buffet.

(Note: Deal is the game slang for dealing damage)

“Vanquish of Evil! Vanquish of Evil! Vanquish of Evil!”

<Kuh, Gha! Uwagh!>

Scratch-like wounds appeared here and there on the host’s body, and opened up, creating cracks. The host, who felt the collapse of existence, howled in agony. Veins rose from the nape of his neck to the corners of his eyes, wriggling like an earthworm.

He poured killing intent at me.

<I’m going to kill you! I’m going to kill you first……!>

Kaaaang!

A dull iron screech cut off the host’s words. Thesilid’s sword stood in front of him.

<Don’t disturb me, little punk!>

Thesilid didn’t even budge.

“From here on.”

<Get out of the way!>

“Not a single step of yours.”

<I have no time for you!>

“Will go forward.”

<Shut up! Move! Arghhh!>

A roar of pain echoed through the wasteland.
